Sebastian Little
Leadership & Performance Coach
“I am so grateful for my time with Miranda and her Embodied Intelligence program! In our individual 1:1 work and the group program, I made new discoveries about the relationship I have with my body, where my intuition lies, and the ever-present intelligence in every cell of my body. As a former Division 1 athlete, I had viewed my body as a performative tool to be used rather than a vessel to foster connection and trust. Miranda created a safe and welcoming space for me to explore and experience new tools, distinctions, and awarenesses. I still use and integrate our work on a daily basis. I recommend this program for anyone who is looking to tap into their own internal compass and continue to build the relationship they have with their body.”
Pat Pallatto
Executive & Leadership Coach, Consultant, Colonel (Ret.)
“Miranda's Embodied Intelligence program was transformational for me personally and as a professional coach.
Miranda is an incredibly skilled teacher and coach practitioner. Her course and learnings vastly improved my knowledge and awareness; and, her multiple somatic exercises moved me from improved awareness to deep comprehension of the obstacles getting in my way of improving. Her guided inward focus into our body was a journey into myself. Through it, I gained tremendous insights insight into my whole self and more importantly, what I needed to do to move forward - as a person and coach."
Parker Glaessner
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. CAP Associate
Parker engaged Miranda in a career transition.
“Miranda is extremely personable and professional. She has an amazing ability to level set at the beginning of every session, which allowed us to go very deep on my professional journey. Going into her coaching sessions, I was unsure about what I was looking to do in the market and not sure of my career direction. She helped me to identify where certain feelings and thoughts were holding me back and how to work through processes. She helped me see the value that I can bring to organizations and also the value I see in myself.”
Leslie Chanpong
Co-Founder, Talent Density Partners
“Miranda is a fantastic coach who leads with curiosity, empathy, and dedication. She helped me to break out of the thought patterns that were burning me out and begin to focus on making progress on real things. She did this by staying extremely present in every conversation, which was incredibly grounding while increasing accountability to her and myself.
Having worked with Miranda, I am far more present and regulated in my professional and personal life, which is helping me to operate more in alignment with my values. Most notably, my health has drastically improved as she worked with me to identify my needs and stay cognizant of meeting those needs. Having made progress in my physical health has helped to clear my headspace so I can focus on my goals rather than spinning in place. I am extremely grateful for this coaching experience and would highly recommend Miranda!”
Lisa Dorsey
Principal at Interplan
Lisa came to Miranda during her transition to running her firm.
“The value that Miranda brought to me as a coach was confidence in my abilities and the power to advocate for myself. Many coaches can say that they empower their clients with these skills, but Miranda undeniably believes in each person's strengths, empowering her clients to push the boundaries of their comfort zone. For me, this resulted in significant professional growth during the year we worked together.”
Paula Thoms
Head Women's Rowing Coach, Williams College
"What I learned in this program helped me see that my body and its signals are a tool I can use to navigate myself out of difficult, complex, high-stress decisions or situations. Miranda's tools consistently help me get grounded in my body and enable me to discern what is the next right thing for me in any given moment. This group provided a network of support and the community aspect helped deepen my own learning. I would highly recommend this!"
Sara Carder
Founder and Editor at Sara Carder Books
Sara came to Miranda in a career transition as she left Penguin Random House to start her own business.
“Miranda was recommended to me by a trusted colleague and friend at a time when I was at a pivotal moment in my career and needed help figuring out where I was and where I wanted to go. I worked with Miranda for a year and I am so grateful to her for her wisdom, support, and guidance through the process. Time and time again, I was blown away by her observations! And she worked with me from day one to develop tools for moving past the noise to really listen to myself, to trust myself. I started a new business with her help! Miranda was (and remains) a trusted guide on my journey. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for wise counsel and TOOLS TOOLS TOOLS that one can draw on in the tough moments to stay focused on achieving goals.”
Nicole Anderson
Co-Founder, The Kaler Group
Nicole engaged Miranda as she stepped into a new role as a small business owner and entrepreneur.
“I knew I had to know Miranda the moment I saw her speak.
I wasn't even looking for a coach. But I was drawn to what she shared in her workshop about somatic coaching and wanted to understand more about it. Those early conversations before we officially started coaching... Miranda was already showing me how to tune into something I'd been ignoring. She was so authentic and open to whatever would happen next, which I didn't realize at the time was already teaching me something about listening to myself differently.
The shifts were subtle week to week. But now, three months later, I can see how things have shifted. I feel and respond to my internal nudges - and they never fail me. Something good always comes from listening to them.
As a business leader, I used to think I needed to have everything figured out. Now I can lean into the ambiguity rather than needing to "know" everything, which actually makes things easier. I'm more comfortable with not knowing the outcome, and that comfort helps me say yes to myself and to possibilities I hadn't even known were possible.
The connection I have with myself and to others runs so much deeper now. Doors are opening in incredible ways now that I'm saying the thing I feel inside that I used to hold back.
Miranda didn't just teach me tools - she helped me remember how to trust the wisdom my body was already giving me. If you're achieving at a high level but something feels off, if you know there's more but can't access it, find Miranda. She'll help you get out of your head and into your power.”
Lauren Rosser
Owner and Founder, Cosmic Properties Group, Real Estate Investor, AWS Alumni
Lauren came to Miranda while still at Amazon, and worked with her to transition from her corporate career into entrepreneurship.
“I had the pleasure of working with Miranda as my leadership coach for the last 12 months and as a result, I am on a path now to a life I always pictured but originally didn’t know how to obtain. I am lighter, more open and was able to become much more comfortable with what I wanted for myself.
Every time I had a question or felt there was an area that I needed help in, Miranda had a tool or exercise for me to dive deeper and knew how to help me develop a more positive habit for myself; whether it be reframing, knowing how to accept positive feedback or knowing how to adjust your individual identity to align to your new path. I am so grateful to Miranda, and I have already recommended her multiple times to friends and colleagues.”
Marca Wasoba
COO at ZBD
Marca came to Miranda in a moment of leadership transition within her organization, wanting to perform better at work and home without burning out.
“I was lucky to be introduced to Miranda, an incredible executive coach, who helped me perform better in every aspect of my life.
As a former high-performance athlete, Miranda understands what it takes to achieve high performance and what can get in the way of that. Often, it’s ourselves.
Miranda brings her experience of performance under pressure into leadership coaching.
The time and money I invested with Miranda are some of the best I’ve ever invested in myself. It was worth every minute and cent. If you want to be a better leader and performer - or, simply be a better version of yourself, work with Miranda!”
John Bloom
Founder and Director of Sports Performance, Elevated Athlete Development
John came to Miranda while still in his role as Director of Sports Performance at Oral Roberts University, and worked with her to transition out of collegiate athletics and into owning his own business.
“As I started the journey of leaving my career to start my own business, Miranda was an incredible guide and encourager. She helped me approach hard conversations, grow confidence in trusting my decision-making instincts, and understand why I'm doing what I'm doing while keeping that central to my decision-making. Miranda is a trusted sounding board for decision-making in the moment - yes - but more importantly, she helped me learn principles and gain clarity for making decisions on my own for a lifetime. I cannot recommend working with Miranda enough!”
Tal Alter
Managing Director, The Orr Group
Tal came to Miranda during a career transition from one organization to another.
“Working with Miranda came at a moment when I was making one of the biggest professional decisions of my life—stepping away from a role that had defined me for over a decade. I knew it was the right choice, but the process of letting go, reflecting, and stepping into something new wasn’t simple. Miranda helped me navigate that transition with thoughtfulness and clarity. Her coaching isn’t about flipping a switch—it’s about building insight and momentum, one conversation at a time. She challenged me to reconnect with the strengths I hadn’t been naming, and to carry them forward with purpose. I came away from our work with a clearer sense of who I am, what I bring, and how I want to lead in this next chapter.”
Andrew Chadeayne
Founder and CEO at CaaMTech
Andrew engaged Miranda to support the growth of his private law practice, and decided to transition into pharmaceutical entrepreneurship.
“Working with Miranda has been one of the most beneficial activities in my professional life over the past 5 years. On countless occasions, she has helped me find the courage to work outside of my comfort zone, creating positive change that I wouldn't have accomplished on my own. When we started working together, she helped me grow my patent firm's business by 10x over about two years. Then, Miranda helped me realize that I could be even happier by following my intuition ina completely different direction. (Yes, shutting down the patent firm right when it started to exceed my aspirations). There have been countless other mini-epiphanies along the way, and they all share the same central theme: Miranda has helped me find true purpose and meaning in my work by harnessing my intuition. At times, the process has been uncomfortable. But they have all worked out in a strangely mystical way that often defies my own logic.
Bottom line: I would HIGHLY recommend Miranda to anyone who is aspiring for greatness in their professional life; or for anyone looking to surprise themselves with what they can accomplish.”
Melissa Showalter
Staff Experience Designer, Airbnb
“Miranda was my coach for a few months prior to the start of my maternity leave with my first child. She was incredibly intuitive on the unique challenges I was facing, both big and small. She helped me navigate how my career, time management, and internal influence within the company would change during such a huge life transition. And she also dug in with me on smaller, project-based challenges that arose related to team structures and figuring out how to set myself up for success. But most importantly, she helped me find more confidence in myself and in the power I bring to my work.”
Ann Ramirez
PDO and Launch Transformation Director at Factor
"A coach in the truest sense of the word, Miranda guided me through my unique forest. She helped me sort my ambition, anxieties, and personal priorities during a very complex time in my career.
I still look back on that moment and think of Miranda’s encouragement to slow down and let the answers reveal themselves."
Cailly O'Toole
Assistant Rowing Coach, UVA
Cailly engaged Miranda in a time of career transition.
“I started working individually with Miranda after being part of a leadership program she facilitated for female rowing coaches. I was drawn to Miranda by her sense of awareness of herself and others. Her curiosity and intuitiveness were traits I wanted to embody in my own leadership. My work with Miranda started shortly after a significant life change and relocation. I was struggling to find a sense of purpose as my career wasn’t following the “normal” trajectory I had hoped for.
In my time working with Miranda, she has given me the tools and skills necessary to coach myself. She taught me the skill of listening to my body and what it is truly saying, underneath all the noise of my brain. She encouraged me to dig deeper and gain clarity through curious and thoughtful questions. She taught me how to speak to myself with intention rather than just listen to thoughts circulating. The most profound gift and opportunity she gave me was the ability to see myself through the eyes of someone else. This is a skill I use regularly even after our time together has ended. I am so grateful for the experience of working with Miranda and the tools she has taught me that I will carry throughout my career and life.”
April Moshos
Sales Account Executive, DOD, Inspired Solutions
“I just (sadly) ended the most amazing experience with Miranda Holder, my leadership coach. For me, it was a rediscovery of myself and my leadership abilities. When you change careers after 24 years and enter into an arena so foreign to what you did before, it tests your confidence.
Miranda was essential in this journey of affirmation. I had all of these stories and experiences, which she listened to with incredible skill.
She taught me to reflect and listen, meaning to hear myself through her as a mirror. I could understand the way others hear me and experience me; to see all the positive and to take the negative as a learning opportunity.
I loved the experience with Miranda and would highly recommend it to others. Just remember the old saying; "You only get out of something what you put into it". Therefore, don't waste it but rather be vulnerable and open. Come wanting to learn and prepared to work. As your guide, Miranda will lead you to a whole new mind shift that can only bring you future success in your endeavors. I’m very thankful to Miranda for this transformative experience!”
Kristin Sargent
Founder and CEO, Sargent Initiatives
“Miranda's embodiment program helped me not just get in touch with my body, but also learn new ways of understanding what it is telling me. So often, I find myself too much in my head and unable to be present. This limits my ability to hear what others are saying, enjoy moments of joy, or even move through stressful situations. Miranda's course provides practical exercises that help you connect with your own body and connect with others such that you can build the ‘muscle’ to be present and trust what your body is telling you in everyday life."
Sarah Erickson
Account Manager, Fluid Interiors
“Miranda is a guide on your journey. She gives you the space to explore and contemplate, while feeling supported and engaged. She welcomed me to try out some unique exercises to dig into other levels, taking a different path and approach. It was an interesting and successful way to discover my own thoughts and feelings. By letting myself go and trusting in her, I got more out of our time together than I imagined before we began, and I am better for it.”
Bonnie Blueford

“I highly recommend Miranda's Embodied Intelligence course. It is thought-provoking yet practical. This course enhanced me personally and professionally. Miranda has a gift of giving space to the room while guiding everyone toward more self-awareness. Her knowledge enables participants to go beneath the surface to deepen one's sense of self.”
